I can turn my ipad2 all the way down but I still hear sounds from certain things like AIM and the lock/unlock sounds. Anyone else seeing this?

Flick the mute switch above the volume rocker. These are system sounds. Alternatively, you can change system sounds in settings to be affected by the volume rocker too.

Two places you go to change these volume levels and turn on/off various options are:

Settings >> Notifications

and

Settings >> General >> Sounds

As donka said, the mute switch can turn these all off quickly.

In iOS 4.3 and above, depending on how you have it set this is either the switch above the volume rocker, or it is found in the multi-task bar by double clicking the home button and swiping right.

Found the "change with buttons" settings. Thanks for the heads up.
